How the News Was Received.

It was shortly after o'clock yesterday after
noon when the news reached the city that the
we'll at Brightwood had been ''shot" and natural
gas had been struck. The report spread over
the business part Of the city in a very short
time, and there was much excitement Many
persons who met on street corners shook hands
with great fervor, and nearly everybody who
had any property in the hands of the real estate
men either ran to withdraw it or order an ad-
vance of so per cent in price. The story went
from mouth to mouth that the gas had been
gnted and the narrators differed greatly in
their accounts as to the height and thick
ness of the flame, some saying it was
only six feet long, while others maintained that
it was over forty feet in length. and roared like
Niagara The first accurate account was deliv-

interested and distinguished audience Of judges
and attorneys. He described the fame seven
or or eight feet high, and the excitement at
Brightwood as much higher Mr.. Wright was
quite hoarse from cheering at the we'll, but was
